#Appalachian Family Law Information Center

The Appalachian Family Law Information Center (AFLIC) was developed to assist residents of Pickens, Gilmer and Fannin Counties who wish to represent themselves in domestic legal matters or educate themselves about domestic issues.

AFLIC has legal form packets and instructions available to assist in the following areas (some of which are available on-line): divorce (both with and without children), contempt, legitimation, child custody and visitation modifications, modification of child support, and name changes.

The Appalachian Family Law Information Center recommends that parties seek the advice of a lawyer who will be familiar not only with the law but will also be familiar with the procedures of the court. Should you choose to proceed without the advice of a lawyer, it is recommended that you familarize yourself with the Internal Operating Procedures (IOPs) for the Appalachian Judicial Circuit. A link to the IOPs may be found under the Resources section. The information provided may or may not be useful in understanding the different aspects of appearing in court including the paperwork and /or forms necessary to proceed in court.
